Undergraduate Probability Textbook with Multiple Choice Practice Problems

AI Thread Summary
Textbooks that provide multiple-choice or true-false questions at the end of chapters for practicing undergraduate probability topics are being sought. Key topics include moments and statistics, covariance, correlation, conditional expectation, various special distributions (such as Binomial, Poisson, and Normal), the Law of Large Numbers, and the Central Limit Theorem. While one participant mentioned the Risken textbook on the Fokker-Planck equation as a good resource for introductory probability theory, it is more suited for graduate-level study and lacks practice questions. There appears to be a scarcity of undergraduate textbooks that include the desired format of questions for exam preparation.

Would you please introduce me some textbooks that offer multiple choice or true-false questions at the end of each chapter so I can practice before my final exam? Basically, that class I am taking right now cover many central topics in Undergraduate Probability course such as:

• Moments and statistics

• Covariance, correlation, conditional expectation

• Special distributions (Binomial, Hypergeometric, Geometric, negative binomial, Poisson, Gamma, Normal, Bernoulli)

• Law of Large Numbers (LLN)

• Central Limit Theorem (CLT)

Thank you so much.

I liked the introductory chapter on probability theory in the textbook by Risken on the Fokker-Planck equation, but I guess that's more graduate than undergraduate level, and there are no multiple-choice questions in it. In fact, I don't know any textbook with multiple-choice questions...

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
